Just wanted to update with my experience with the 8T so far.

Had the 8T out at the beach over the last week along with my Revo conversion, the Flux, my relatives FLM Maxx, and an E-revo. Well, some of you may have read my update on the Flux and the FLM/LST shocks (not good so far). I have to say that far and away, this 8T is great. It was easily the fastest of the bunch on the track we made in the hardpack sand, and held up great - until I decided to send it off a ramp over the break wall by the beach (it was about an 8 - 10 foot drop onto the soft sand). Something, somewhere inside the diffs or the motor got bound up. It runs, but it when you let off on the throttle, it completely locks up the wheels (I did have motor braking set to about 10 or 20 percent - but after the jump, its like its on 100%). With everything off, I cant push it by hand at all. I pulled the center out and checked it, but it was fine. I'll have to pull the front and rear to see what those look like - I needed to do that anyway, since I never opened those up after I bought it.

One thing I'd like to try to do with this thing is to find a way to put some different shocks on it so that I can also make it a little more bash friendly - ie., get it up off the ground a little more.
